Things People Say That Piss You Off

[AMX58]

when people get on edge of everything why cant anybody just relax and take it easy no need make a damn rush about everything

 

[Qitz]

The whole "In my opinion" or "IMHO." Yes, I know it was your opinion, because you just said it. I don't need you to tell me that what YOU just said was YOUR opinion.

Thankfully I haven't had any encounter with someone telling me that something was "Just my opinion" but that would get the same response.

Also, the whole "Words hurt" mentality. No, words DO. NOT. HURT. Words do not deal any damage, the only thing that hurts is you. If someone calls you fat, their words aren't hurting you, your relation to being called fat is hurting you. If you don't let it bother you, guess what? The words do NOTHING!

Same with people who say calling something Gay is offensive. No, gay isn't offensive. It's the relationship your drawing between homosexuality and a negative connotation that's the problem. If I say "That car is gay" it's not me that's causing the drama it's you. Your drawing connections between my use of the word gay, homosexuals and a negative meaning. If I, instead, said "That car is Taco" does that mean I'm being offensive to any and all races who eat Tacos?

I actually just thought of another one, because I'm cool like that.

It's happened once or twice already in this thread, and it's less people saying things and more typing them. The use of "'s" is NOT for pluralising things. It's possessive.

For example, "story's" has been said by someone, and it's actually "stories".

Just wanted to make that clear.

"Well, that's just your opinion"

No *****, it's my argument, so unless you refute it it's the universal truth.

Isn't that the same school of thought that says that your opponent walking away in disgust means you're right?

Personally I hate the misuse of the word 'bias', a source can never be bias, it is impossible for someone to be bias. They can, however, be BIASED. It pisses me off so much because people say 'oh, Fox News is bias' and then put their hands on their hips and drop their trousers ready for the resultant circlejerk without realising how incredibly stupid they actually sound! Saying words wrong makes you sound like you're parroting a phrase you heard. Accusations of bias are so common on here that I think people just say the words without understanding what they mean.

The other one that gets me is when people are so incredibly pedantic about evidence. I shouldn't need to provide multiple accredited sources for something and unless some people here have all the autism in the world they should be able to tell when someone's speaking figuratively or rhetorically. A certain amount of rhetoric in conversation is to be expected, people do not speak like Vulcans or like a mathematical formula, apply some common sense.

No one uses the word "bias" like that... It's not humanly possible to be that stupid.

 

[Jamis]

People who ***** and moan, instead of getting up and doing something about what's pissing them off.

If you know the difference between Holland and the Netherlands (without looking it up), I will be more specific about British/English people.

Isn't it do do with provinces or something? Admittedly I'm not 100% sure, but isn't Netherlands the country and Holland is a province....? I'm probably wrong...

"I'm not gonna lie..."

like when someone says that phrase before stating a positive thing. thats usually when people say it.

i have a friend on xbox live and its basically his catch phrase. i would be willing to bet money that he has said those words together like that more than ANY OTHER PHRASE. and he probably says it at least once a day, i guarantee it. to make things worse, he has fucking infected my other friends on xbl and now they say it too. i hear it all the time in reference to the games they are playing... "I'm not gonna lie... This game is pretty fun."

ITS RIDICULOUS!

"I'm not gonna lie... This is some good cake." why WOULD you lie? i honestly dont get it.

the only time someone should say "I'm not gonna lie..." is right before they lay down a cold hard truth on someone that they really didnt want to.

for example: "Honey, you've been out all night. Where were you?" / "I'm not gonna lie... I've been cheating on you."

/rant

 

[Titan Buttons]

It doesn't apply in English I think, but in Dutch there is this saying that goes kinda like this. "Thats for you a question and for me a know."
If someone gives me that answer after a question I will rage. because basically they are saying that they know the answer to your question but wont tell you because they are either too elitist or too bored to tell you.

Such arrogance!!!! *slap*

The English version to that is "That's for me to know and you to find out."
But yes it's really annoying

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

"I am offended..."

"The Escapist has a very intelligent community.."

And just about anything said at a work meeting. The basic idea is:
"We want you to work harder, take on more responsibilities, cut down on all forms of wastage. You'll make the same wage as before, but we'll be making more, and that's really all that matters. Also, if you could happier that would be great."

I'm sure alot of you can relate to that.

 

[Craorach]

"Bro", "Cus"...

I am not your Brother, I am not your Cousin, we are infact not related in any realistic way. How dare you insult both me and my family by suggesting that I would even remotely associate with you, since the people who usually direct this at me are borderline criminal useless individuals here in Australia who think I owe them a buck for no good reason.

Also anyone that uses LOL as a statement in real life without it being to take the piss out of someone else. I find myself doing it from time to time and want to stab myself in the face.

And the most recent one, the teenagers at my work keep coming out with "That awkward moment when..." statements that are apparently some facebookism. Most of these are not remotely awkward.

 

[ELD3RGoD]

When people call people from England British instead of English. I hate that.

Spoiler: Also, when people use this flag to represent England

Spoiler: When they really mean this

Its used because Brit's are ashamed of how much they ripped it of the Danish flag.

Spoiler

Your very argument is void. BRITS consist of WELSH, ENGLISH and SCOTTISH. Hold on...........

The Welsh flag is green and white with a dragon on it, looking nothing like the Danish flag.
The Scottish flag is blue and white, also looking nothing like the Danish flag.
The English flag is white with a red cross, much more like the opposite of the Swiss flag, compared to the off centre Danish flag.

OT: People who are patriotic, claiming they and their country is the best at everything - Namely America.

"I live with no regrets." and "I don't hate anyone."

Shut the hell up. If you lived with no regrets you'd f up over and over and over again, because you'd never learn from your mistakes. And you definately do regret things, so piss off. It wouldn't be healthier to never regret anything, so stop acting like you're a perfect little snowflake.

And you definately do hate people, you're human, it's really okay, so stop lying to make yourself sound superior.

Me, I regret a lot of things and I hate some people. That doesn't mean I'm stuck in the decisions I've made in the past or that I'm a complete asshole.

 

[Llil]

OT: Also, people that misuse "ironically", "literally" and "technically". Ugh.

It can be quite fun to imagine they really mean "literally" when they say it.

"I literally worked my ass off..."
"He literally exploded with anger..."

You can then continue the conversation as if that's what they meant.

Same with people who say calling something Gay is offensive. No, gay isn't offensive. It's the relationship your drawing between homosexuality and a negative connotation that's the problem.

Okay, let's try another one:

"That is a gay car."
"That is a n----r car."

See what is wrong now? The use of "gay" as a pejorative is not something that came about as an accident. The reason that "gay" gets used in that way is because homosexuals are/were seen as bad by a large group of language users.

Well i'm diabetic, and I HATE it when random people find out and then think they need to educate me about the nature of my illness and/or tell me the mundane adventure about some diabetic relative of theirs, believing this is the only way to relate with a diabetic person. EXAMPLE: some distant relative of mine came to my uncles party and I was having a drink by the bar. Now l admit I drink, not in excessive amounts, but I drink allot. So i'm trying to work my magic with some girl and he comes over with "HEY your Gordons son", I say hi, introduce my self or something then its "so and so told me your diabetic, you shouldn't be drinking if your diabetic". Then its " I have a cousin whose diabetic, I shall tell you about her for some reason" Then its " some fat twat told me this causes diabetes, and it will be cured by this date". By that point i'm hating life and tell him that their are a few theory's on how diabetes is caused with real scientific facts ( I'm a med student) but know, i'm young and cant possible be right.

Worst of all, I later wanted to ditch, to go clubbing and he goes to my mum " Can he go clubbing with his diabetes". No I will fucking go comatose the second I walk through the doors you fat shit, how much do you really know about this illness, do you think loud noise causes blood sugar to drop. Or do you question whether or not i'm trusted to go out and not kill myself. Worst he asks my mum.

This is just an example, but really I hate talking about my illness, in almost any context.

I like how this post has 4 or 5 examples of what other people say they find annoying.


Oh, and I hate it when people say 'This' when quoting someone. Couldn't the word have been 'agree' or something less annoying?

 

[Quagmirian]

People who claim to have no religious beliefs, or say that religion is bad. There is a difference between organised religious groups and personal beliefs.

Edit: Spellchecker doesn't think 'organised' is a word.

 

[TheDooD]

The "Have you got a job yet?" or "Have you try this to get a job?"

I know they mean well but I don't want to be constanstly reminded that I'm unemployed.

This! Fucking this. I'm tired of my mom snapping at me that I don't have a job or I'm not making money. When she goes out and spends over 600$ on shit yet complains when I ask her for money so I can get art supplies so I can start designing again. SO I can start making my own money.

 

[Marcilla]

"I don't need drugs or alcohol, i'm high on life."
This seriously ticks me off, no your not high on life, your high on your own smugness.
If you don't like drinking and what not thats fine, just don't start acting all holier-than-thou.

"Water doesn't quench my thirst."

FFffffffffffff

Water DOES quench your thirst. Its just that your body is so trained to expect a sugar rush from drinking (from cola, pepsi, orange juice, coffee, tea, whatever) that drinking water alone leaves your body expecting a sugar rush that doesn't come.
